    Hades and Persephone: Unpacking the myth - Iseult Gillespie

    Dig into the Greek myth of Persephone, who is abducted by Hades and is only allowed to leave the underworld every spring.--One day, Persephone was frolicking in a meadow with the nymph, Cyane. As they admired a flower, they noticed it tremble in the ground. Suddenly, the earth split, and a terrifying figure arose. It was Hades, god of the underworld. He wrenched Persephone from Cyane, dragged her into his inky chariot, and blasted back through the earth. Iseult Gillespie shares the myth of the goddess of spring.Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by KERO Animation Studio.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-myth-of-hades-and-persephone-iseult-gillespieDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-myth-of-hades-and-persephone-iseult-gillespie#digdeeper----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    The surprising path to mastering something - David Epstein

    Are we building skills the wrong way? Explore how having a wide range of experience can be better than early specialization.--There’s a common idea that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become great at something. From an early age, we are encouraged to choose our path, focus specifically, and start racking up those hours. But, what if these head starts aren’t helping us the way we think they do? What if there’s a better way to excel? David Epstein shares how a different approach could set us up for greater success.Directed by Avi Ofer.This is an animated adaptation of a TEDx Talk given by David Epstein. You can watch the talk in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6lBtiQZShoEducation is the ultimate idea worth spreading.
